When you plug the iPhone into a Windows Desktop, goto the Start Menu, then Computer. On that page you will see something like Portable Devices, and in my case under that it says Brian's iPhone 4S. If you double click on it you will then see Internal Storage. Double click on that and you will see a DCIM folder which you should also go into. At that point, depending on how many pictures are on the phone, you may have multiple folders. Go into each one and copy them out onto where you want to save them, and then you can also mass delete them there as well. Make sure you have copied them safely once you delete them, because they are gone permanently forever once deleted.

I still have the 3GS and windows 7 just goes aahh you plugged your iphone into the computer would you like to extract the photos. Windows should take the photos off your phone using the auto play import pictures and video once the usb is connected.

Did you figure it out? It's pretty simple you just connect to your computer, wait a minute or two and it will pop up with a box of pics and you just drag and drop and then erase the pics on the phone.

Down load iTune to your computer. Then sync the files you want to transfer to your computer.
